Slay Like Beyoncé With My New SLAY Studs

March 28, 2016 by WendyB

Do you follow me on Instagram? If not, you should, because that’s where you might get a chance to pre-order my newest designs or get an early shot at a sale.

For instance, I gave a sneak peek of my new SLAY stud earrings on IG last month …

… and the first order has already gone out.

Ready for shipping!

The next SLAY studs will be made to order, so please allow two weeks for delivery. You can order the pair or just one earring, because you know I love those single earrings.

I had been meaning to add SLAY to my collection of word and letter jewelry for ages, but I had a grand vision of a big, complicated, difficult piece. Then, in February, Beyoncé blew me away with her video for the song “Formation,” with its repeated “I slay” lyrics.

After that, I wanted to have my SLAY piece done yesterday, but that wasn’t going to happen with the design I had in mind. That’s when I recalled the wise words of Frank the Pug in Men in Black:

“You humans. When are you gonna learn that size doesn’t matter? Just ’cause something’s important, doesn’t mean it’s not very, very small.”

Tommy Lee Jones interrogates Frank the Pug in “Men in Black.”

I had also had word studs on my to-do list for a long time. All I had to do was change my SLAY design to stud earrings, and I’d accomplish two goals at once. So that’s what I did. Thanks to Beyoncé and Frank the Pug for the inspiration.

Keep an eye on my Instagram for previews of the SLAY ring and necklace — neither of which is the big design I originally planned! I’m going to get back to that concept ASAP.

    I like how you pull inspiration from a pop star and a pug, and make it work! WERK!

      Pugs are the new fashion leaders.
